Generations of Neipperg Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

The Generations von Neipperg is the entry into the world of one of the best-known wineries of Saint-Émilion — accessible, but with real depth.

The Comtes von Neipperg have been cultivating vineyards on the right bank of Bordeaux for centuries. Today, Stephan von Neipperg manages the family winery, which, in addition to the famous Château Canon-la-Gaffelière, also includes several other estates in Saint-Émilion. The soils are worked without synthetic pesticides; the terroir is allowed to speak.

In the glass, the wine shows the classic profile of the Merlot-dominated Saint-Émilion: dark blackberry and plum, underscored by cocoa and a hint of cinnamon bark. The tannins are soft, the body is medium-full, the finish is pleasantly long with slight spice.

The Domaine

Vignobles Comtes von Neipperg

Château Canon La Gaffelière – Saint-Émilion with character. At the foot of the slope south of the old town, on clay-limestone and clay-sand soils with high heat capacity. An unusual balance thrives here: Merlot meets Cabernet, which ripens exceptionally well on the warm soils. This gives the wines power, aromatic complexity – and natural elegance.

In the cellar: slow vinification, no excessive temperatures. Each wine batch is aged individually on fine lees, interventions remain minimal. Entirely in accordance with the typicity of the vintage.

Canon La Gaffelière – wine with finesse.
